Yehoram reigns over Yehudah

8:16 Yehoram reigns over Yehudah

Southern kingdom

(2 Chr. 21:1-20)

16In the fifth year of the reign of Ahab’s son Yoram as king of Yisrael, Yehoshafat’s son Yehoram became king of Yehudah. 17He was thirty-two when he became king and he reigned from Yerushalem for eight years. 18He followed in the evil ways of the kings of the northern kingdom of Yisrael, just as Ahab’s descendants had done, because he’d married one of Ahab’s daughters. He did what Yahweh had said was evil, 19but Yahweh wasn’t willing to destroy Yehudah, for the sake of his servant David—he’d promised David that his descendants would always rule Yehudah.

20It was during King Yehoram’s time that Edom rebelled from Yehudah’s control, and they appointed their own king. 21So Yehoram took his army and chariots and crossed the valley towards Zair in Edom. They attacked at night, but as the Edomite army and chariots started to surround them, they had to retreat back to their tents. 22So Edom has been out from under the control of Yehudah to this day. Then Livnah revolted at the same time.

23Everything else that Yehoram said and did is written in the book of the events of the kings of Yehudah. 24Then Yehoram died and was buried with his ancestors in the city of David, and his son Ahazyah replaced him as king.
